WJDX-FM (105.1MHz) is amainstream urbanradio station licensed toKosciusko, Mississippi, but located inJackson, Mississippi. It is owned byiHeartMedia, Inc. (formerly Clear Channel Communications until September 2014). Its studios are located in northwest Jackson, and its transmitter site is east ofCanton.
From October 1998 to March 2003 WQJQ was aJammin' Oldies station.
On January 24, 2011, WQJQ relaunched as "Oldies 105.1" and in the process changed its callsign to WJDX-FM. The original WJDX-FM was a progressive rock station at 102.9 (nowWMSI-FM) from the late 1960s through the early 1970s. The station changed its calls to WZZQ in 1973 and would evolve from progressive rock to a locally produced AOR music format.
WJDX-FM'soldies format includes some of the songs that were popular onWJDX (AM) when that station playedTop 40 music during the 1970s.
In November 2013, WJDX-FM flipped to its usualChristmas music format for the holidays. However, it changed its name to "FM 105.1: The Christmas Station". On December 26, 2013, WJDX-FM rebranded as "105.1 The River" and became aclassic hits station (playing the hits of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s).
On September 1, 2014, the station ditched 1960s music to fully concentrate on 1970s and especially 1980s music. The station even had a slogan indicative of the change: "Jackson's Greatest Hits of the '70s and '80s."
On February 11, 2019, the station made the switch from classic hits toadult hits (but still heavily concentrated on 1980s music). Since then, the station's slogan has been "Jackson's Greatest Hits of the '80s and More."
On May 22, 2020, at noon, afterstunting with music from different genres, WJDX-FM flipped to urban, branding itself as “Real 105.1”.[2]
